Kubernetes Academy, a free product-agnostic education platform

Right out of the chute the Containers 101 video assumes a huge amount of contextual knowledge by the viewer, an existing in-depth knowledge of docker.

If the course is "101" they should, at the very least, mention this upfront and direct the viewer to suitable resources so the viewer can level set.

the hype around k8s is unreal..... But should everyone even learn k8s? A lot of the core features of k8s and container orchestration is getting abstracted away at a rapid pace with more things being built on top of k8s. I see this at my current company where we have a ton of ops people who have only ever used vmware....with cloud migration and container focused workflows being the standard now they are fearing like they are left behind. So I see a lot of them learning to code, trying to learn k8s, trying to become more devops with automation. Its quite a steep learning curve.

But by the time they catch up to this technology I have a feeling it will become less important to administer k8s directly.

Maybe like Databases. Not all companies need a DBA today.

Short answer: Yes you should (If you're in DevOps).
